Hi, I'm quite very happy to announce that we'll finally be having a Debian Edu developer gathering again! It will take place in Oslo in the "bitraf"-hackerspace on the next weekend and the main topic will be the upcoming Stretch release, from a Debian Edu POV. (As you might know or not, since the Jessie release, we have a Debian Edu Jessie release with 100% packages from Debian stable.) As previously discussed with Mehdi in private (using the leader@d.o account though) we would be very happy if Debian could sponsor this sprint with up to 1500 EUR for travel and accomodation reimbursements of attending contributors from outside Norway. According to current plans we will approximatly only need <900 EUR to cover the costs of travel for Mike, Wolfgang, Phil and myself plus accomodation for three of us, but I'd prefer to ask for a slightly bigger budget, should we be lucky and receive some last minute attendees. Mehdi, can you please approve this sponsorship of up to 1500 EUR?! The wiki page to describe the sprint is here: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Gathering/2016-11-Oslo (though there is also one in the sprints namespace, though this is mostly a pointer: https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2016/DebianEdu ) The meeting was first publically announced more than a month ago, on our developers mailinglist, see https://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2016/10/msg00039.html Mike Gabriel also recently blogged about it, so planet.d.o also knows by know: http://sunweavers.net/blog/node/49 Thanks! -- cheers, Holger
